After spending much time on the deck of my house this summer, I realize
my gratitude for not only Fred’s life, but each of yours. Many of us have
gathered on this same deck over the years, sharing stories and our lives.
When Fred dictated the blog entry below, just days before his death, he was
sitting on the deck, looking out over the raised beds and his community.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Times"><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Times">I received the photo below from our son Bruce. he was looking through photos and
discovered this one. Our family was on one of our memorable vacations together. He titled it, " Celebrating BIKER Fred".
Dad received a (fake) tattoo in Libby, Montana and he was acting like a
biker; you were obviously his biker chick (that's me, Nancy)<br><br>Thought you might laugh with us. <br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Times"><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Times">Shared with love and beautiful memories,</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Times"><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Times">Nancy<br></span></p>
